...

Muffled sounds of people chit chatting in between of calm background music was heard due to the large number of men and women in the hall.

It's Friday. The day of the party, in a huge classy hall of a luxurious hotel.

People admired the place, each and every thing of the venue was unique and casted a look of wealth and elegance. The soft, off white curtains draped perfectly at the sides near the entrance. The chandelier at the center of the ceiling also did its work of adding beauty, gracefully. The waiters were well dressed and served the guests nicely. In short everything was just perfect.

The muffling sounds stopped as two people entered the hall. They were charming enough to catch everybody's eye. The ladies at the venue couldn't help but drool over the male and so did the men at the female.

The boy looked breathtaking in the expensive Tuxedo he was wearing. His features appeared flawless, the sharp jawline, pinkish lips and the big doe eyes. Everything about him was so captivating.

Even the girl did her work as soon as she stepped inside. With her comely complexion and the dazzling beauty she had managed to make all the eyes turn to her. The velvety gown hugged her slender body definingly. She had angelic eyes and  sachherine sweet lips that were blossom soft. Her smooth golden brown hair rested perfectly on her shoulders.

The time seemed to slow down as the pair walked to, what is assumed to be the center of the hall where a man in his late 40s or early 50s stood. Yes, Kang was waiting for Zia and Jungkook to arrive and officially start the party.

Jungkook had his right hand snaking around the Zia's slim waist. They made a perfect couple. They gave each other a warm smile as Kang spoke;

"You both look great together."

Zia glanced at Jungkook before replying with a smile. "Thank you." She had said.

Jungkook nodded and smiled as he pulled Zia closer by her waist.

"Ladies and gentlemen" Kang said on the mic, grabbing attention. "As you've already noticed, my special children, Jungkook and Zia have arrived. I would like to announce that the party has officially begun. Please enjoy yourselves and have a good time!" He ended followed by a wave of cheer from the people gathered.

Jungkook had Zia by his side throughout till now. They met different people and all of them complimented the two on how good they looked together.

Jungkook was currently talking to a man who had came there with his wife. Zia too was engaged in a conversation with some people. That's when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Jungkook?" She said as she looked who the person was.

"Please excuse us." Jungkook said politely to the people Zia was talking. They nodded and Jungkook took her somewhere.

"Where are we going?" She asked keeping up with her posture.

"Kang wants us to meet someone." He whispered. Zia sighed and nodded.

"Oh here they are!" Kang's voice entered her ears.

Zia and Jungkook did a subtle bow since the man looked older than them, earning a nod of acknowledgement.

"This is Mr.Kim. the owner of Kim hotels." Kang said gesturing his hand towards the man.

Zia took a moment to observe him. He was tall and handsome. His blonde hair fell flawlessly on his forehead. He had attractive plumped lips and dark orbs.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Kim" Jungkook said while extending his hand for a handshake which the man accepted gladly.

"Uh I'm so sorry I've to go. Urgent work you know?" Kang said looking apologetically at Mr. Kim.

"No no its okay. Work comes first." He said.

Kang shook hands with the man one last time and walked away. Now it was just Zia, Jungkook and Mr. Kim.

"You're beautiful, I must say. Uh Zia right?" Mr. Kim said waiting for her confirmation.

"Yes and Thank you." She said.

"So Mr. Kim-" Jungkook was going to ask something but Mr. Kim cut him off.

"No need to be so formal. My name is Kim SeokJin. You can just call me Jin." He said.

"Uh sure. Mr. Jin, I hope you're enjoying the party." Jungkook said with a sincere smile.

"Ofcourse I am." He admitted with a smile.

One thing was about him that Zia and Jungkook noticed was that his eyes kept wandering around the entrance. As if he was waiting for someone.

"If you don't mind me asking, are you waiting for someone?" Jungkook asked.

"Ah you figured. Actually yes. My brother was supposed to arrive here and he's lagging behind time right now." He said laughing a little.

"I see. He might've gotten into some work." Jungkook assured.

"I guess so." Jin nodded.

The three chatted for a while, before a Jin's phone rang and he excused himself, leaving Jungkook alone with Zia.

The music was now a romantic one. A few couples were dancing as the music automatically moved their bodies.

Jungkook stared at the couples occupying the floor as they danced then turned to look at Zia who was just admiring the things around her. With an adroit smirk, Jungkook reached out his hand in front of Zia.

"Wanna dance?" He asked with the smirk still painted on his lips.

Zia hesitated a bit and looked around. She had no other choice than giving in.

"Sure." She replied and placed her hand on his.

Jungkook smiled victoriously and lead her to the center of the dance floor.

His hands comfortably held her waist while Zia's hands placed on his shoulders. As they moved their bodies to the music while at the same time coordinating with each other's movements, Jungkook's vision betrayed him again.

His dark brown eyes deeply stared into Zia's. She didn't look at him with the same stare but a confused one when she noticed Jungkook staring at her...like that. Zia so badly wanted to stomp on his foot and remind him his limits. But the truth was Jungkook had no limits. Especially with Zia.

Burrying the temptation to hurt Jungkook, inside her, Zia responded his stare with a smile, not a soft, sincere smile but a 'know what you're doing' type of smile. A reminder to get himself together.

Jungkook realised and shook his head slightly. His grip on Zia's waist tightened as he pulled her closer removing whatever space was left between their bodies. She subtly tried to push him but Jungkook's hand just slid more intimately. Now she was sure close to stomping on his foot.

"Jeon you better not pull any of your stunts right now." Zia warned him as she whispered. Although her expressions were more positive, with a smile on her face and eyes locked with Jungkook's. Nobody could tell she was threatening him with that smile unless they really heard it.

Zia stiffened when Jungkook leaned down, his face was centimeters away from Zia's. He brushed his lips lightly on her cheek and whispered in her ear.

"Just play along"

Zia could feel him smirk against her skin. His voice wasn't cold or stern. Just more of a raspy, tempting voice that sent chills down Zia's body.

Jungkook pulled away and winked at her, leaving it for her to think what he's upto.

Little did they know, a certain someone was observing all their moves. Watching, as he swirled his glass playing with the drink in it, and again his eyes fixed on the girl. Lips parted a little as he ran his tongue over his lower lip. His expression was a hard one to be read.

"Beautiful" was the only word his mouth managed to utter.

Sparing one last glance at the girl, he walked towards the right side of the hall, where stood a very few people. And among those very few people, one was Kim SeokJin. He was standing with a drink in his hand. His glass was almost empty, maybe some last sips were left.

"Hyung" The man called out, not that loud, just enough for the specific person to hear.

SeokJin turned around, he recognized the voice.

"Ah! You finally made it!"

"See for yourself, I'm right here."

"There's people I want you meet." SeokJin proposed.

"Who-"

"Oh they're coming this way. Jungkook!" SeokJin raised his hand as he called out.

Jungkook and Zia, soon were standing before them.

"Meet my brother, Taehyung." SoekJin said while patting Taehyung's arm.

"Hello, its nice to meet you Taehyung. I'm Jeon Jungkook."Jungkook introduced. Taehyung smiled reached his hand for a handshake. "And this is Zia" Jungkook proceeded.

Taehyung's eyes shifted from Jungkook to Zia. His eyebrows raised as he looked at the girl. Taehyung extended his hand and Zia gave in, thinking of a handshake. Although he strategically bent forward and took her hand to plant a kiss on the back. His eyes were pinned on Zia's, not once taking them off of her. Zia smiled at him while Jungkook was trying hard to process if it was really necessary.
Its wasn't. But its Kim Zia we're talking about. Every man is head over heels for her. Just to get a touch of her silky skin, to get an access to her.

Zia found Taehyung's gaze melting. The way his round eyes bore into hers was another level of satisfaction.

At the same time, Jungkook saw something different. It was as if he was looking at his own reflection of that split second when Zia appeared different to him. Jungkook felt something inside him churn. Not because Taehyung was looking at Zia like that. But because he knew he had something relatable.

Jungkook turned his head to look at Zia. To his surprise she wasn't staring back at Taehyung, interestingly she wasn't ignoring his stare either.

For some reason it wasn't awkward, just a little thoughtful for the three of them, while SeokJin continued to talk.

They were all getting tired. Everybody was trying their best to keep on a smile. No one wanted to look strange or rude, specially when its a business party.

Many deals were closed, new partnerships were formed and profits were gained. The thing had finally come to an end.

"Thank God it ended." Zia mumbled to herself, sighing deeply.

"You did great" Jungkook said.

"And you did too much"

"That was nothing princess."

With that said, Jungkook proceeded forward towards his car, leaving the girl staring at his back. Princess?
